You can use your Disney Rewards towards pretty much anything in WDW. Resorts, food, souvenirs the list goes on

Also don't know if you know this but just incase you don't. In Epcot in Innovations (I forget which one exactly but it has the firetruck in it) there's a place to get a free 5 by 7 photo with a Disney character(s) photo pass pic if you show them your Disney Visa card. You never know who is behind the curtain but it has been my experience it is normally at least 2 of the fab 5, mostly it's more.

I know you got your answer, but I wanted to add that you can also use the rewards card for tips. We're doing the dining plan this trip and that's how we'll be using a good chunk of our rewards dollars.

How logn does it take to apply for a card? I'm thinking of applying for one. so I can put my vacation package balance on it. My deadline is oct 13, will I be able to make it if I apply tomorrow? and will I be able to get that reward card by end of November?

I think you'd get it if you applied now. I don't think it would take more then a month to get it. And the rewards card takes several weeks to arrive in the mail after you earn some points, but once you get it you can add new points instantly after you earn them until that card expires.

When I first applied for my Disney rewards card (a couple of years ago), I was told that it could be used at restaurants in WDW - no qualifications given. More recently, I found information on the Visa card website that indicated that only select restaurants accepted the redemption card. So, I called and asked about it, hoping that was just to give a sampling. I was told no, that the card can only be used at those specific restaurants. Two of the restaurants that I most wanted to visit are not on the list.

So... what experiences have others had using the rewards card at disney restaurants? Thanks.

Looks like the question has been answered - but for anyone thinking about applying - do it! We have used ours many times for many different reasons. park tickets, shopping, dining, at the Disney store at our mall, etc.

Hubby and I have used it a quite a few restaurants - but found that like PP said - the ones not owned by Disney do not accept them.

Hold the phone! You can use it for tips?? How do you do that? When they bring the bill do you just tell the server how much to take off of the card if you are on DDP?
